FAQ
What is the best of the resorts in Thekkady?
The Elephant Court currently ranks highest on this page. That is a ranking by how well documented it is, not a verdict on how good it is — we do not carry traveller reviews.
How is this list of resorts ranked?
By how much verifiable information we hold about each place — a photograph we are licensed to publish, an encyclopaedia entry, a working website, a written description. It is not a quality score and it is not a popularity score. We carry no traveller ratings at all: review scores belong to the platforms that collected them and we are not licensed to republish them, so we would rather show you nothing than show you somebody else's number. We don't take payment to rank places, and there are no affiliate links.
